Hand woven scarves.I had been waiting for some daylight to take photos of these. So, finally, here they are.The teal & red is a "Swedish Rose Path weave" (took me forever) in merino & a blend, the blue-yellow-rust is an "undulating twill" in cotton, rayon & wool. The other 2 (mohair & chenille) are plain weaves.

Dyed yarns in fall colors & naturals (& some not so natural)...These are some of the yarns that I dyed before my trip to India. I'm getting ready to take them to the farmers market. I feel like dyeing some more but it's too cold out!

The natural greys are Lincoln lamb spun from the fold & plied with sport weight merino.
